Art Project 1



We each created a footprint that is symbolic of the journey or the imprint we are making in life.  Each student can choose to use one foot or two feet side by side.  The project will be graded on the use of space, at least 3 mediums, and craftsmanship.  The students will each need to present their completed project to the class and they will be displayed in the class. 
A possible extension project could be studying the footprint that mankind has left on the planet.  It could also be creating footprints in plaster of paris.  We could do an experiment where everyone needs to put their foot in tubs containing different textures such as dirt, mud, sand, wet sand, lotion, mulch, dry leaves, packing foam, and water.  It will be obvious that some people like different things and that some substances leave a footprint while others do not.  These ideas could segue into making the construction paper footprints.
